Is it ok?

Is it ok to feel lonely in a crowd? to feel odd wherever you are placed? to feel unhappy whatever you do?? Is it ok to feel lost? to feel distant no matter however close?to feel there is no company better than oneself? to have nothing to say at times, no focus , no objective? Is it ok to just let people believe that all is perfect? Is it ok to think too hard, too deep? is it ok to dwell in the past? to be wary about the future?to have no control on the present? is it ok to sacrifice and let go all the time? to be called a child at time and grand parent at other times? to question where is the world running to and for what? to feel lack of need to fall into the usual cycle of life?to feel as though the missing pieces will remain so? Is it ok to not feel ok? Is it ok to indulge in such thoughts....?

Over the Hedge( nuts!)

An animated comic movie -"Over the Hedge" is a probable indirect mock on humans by the animals. Our lack of consideration for their inhabitation and the growing cities over few months whilst losing balance of nature is the highlight of this family movie. The story revolves around an odd collection of creatures who claim to be family and their meeting with a human-life and city-familiar Raccoon and their adventure. The hilarious highlight of the movie is how Food controls a human life! The best characters are Stella(the female skunk) and Hammy ( the nut-freak squirrel)!Voices and quick-wit are strengths of this flick. If you are an animation fan, this is no-doubt worth a viewing ;guaranteed to make you feel light!

Hosts claim the Bronze!

The Germans managed the third place at the FIFA World cup 2006; after having shed tears at the Semis 4 days back.They are glad and so are their fans; the country is celebrating! Schweini emerged the hero and Klose couldnot add to his top scoring list.Kahn(GER) and Figo(POR) made their way out of International Football as modern legends. The match however was not all that entertaining since we didn't see much of a fight back from the Portugese. The Finals to watched out at CET 20:00!

FIFA Semis..

The turning point at both the Semis... Grosso took Italy to the Finals while Del Piero confirmed the same....2 goals within the last 2 minutes, unbelievable Football can be! Germany shocked and so its fans....Emotions changed quickly at Dortmund stadium after about 2 hours of no score by both teams. While at Munich, France made their way with a penalty shot by Zidane and Portugal just couldn't score or had any luck with referee judgement for penalty appeal! To watch out now.... if France/Italy would be champions and if Germany/Portugal would secure the 3rd place!

Marking the end of half the year and only Europeans survive the World Cup Semis...

We are now left with 4 European teams; quite unsure about who would lift the 2006 cup! Now that crowd favortites- Brazil ,Argentina and England are off , Italy was the only predictable win! Theirry Henry and Klose remain my heroes as France and Germany enter the semis of FIFA World Cup 2006. My new hero is Ricardo who without doubt proved Portugese are better off than the English team. Crippled by the loss of a crying and injured Beckham and aggressive Rooney; the team couldnot even take advantage of couple of tense penalty shots by the Portugese! At 3-1; we soon had a whole bunch of England supporters crying at the loss ....The following match was also quite a surprise win as Brazil are still considered the best team!I hope to see re-run of the Brazil vs. France match before I comment on the match.... On the other hand, half of 2006 has already passed by while I think I was just getting used to the year 2006.Now when I look back- I did finally get my car windows tinted, got a new wall...
